Our District has seventeen Scout Groups based in the towns of Bedford and Kempston, and in villages surrounding and along the River Ouse valley.
Scouting is open to everyone, and each week 1000 young members between the ages of 6 to 18 enjoy an active programme within their Groups. There is no upper age limit for adult volunteers, and the Network section for 18-25s provides a great transition while remaining in Scouting to adulthood.
The Scouts award-winning training scheme for volunteers means that adults get as much from Scouts as young people.
